Conclusion: don’t buy HyunKi car
Cause its solution is so beyond dumb for Kia and Hyandai engineers!!! , the software is junk and useless it disables your ignition permantly if your ALARM GOES OFF !! KIA AND HYANDAI NEVER EVER WILL BE SMART ITS COMMON SENSE , BACK WINDOW SENSORS TO MAKE THE ALARM GO OFF HOW THEY GET BROKEN INTO IS THE BACK WINDOW
Or kia!! Crap brand of a car!
@@keithlamb7028the cars are like $21,000-29,000 and monthly is like 500-600 I know this because I sell some
When poor people go to a dealership and ask for cheap cars Kia and Hyundai are the ones that’s pop up on the list notice how the cheapest ones are the most stolen Aka Kia and Hyundai
@@keithlamb7028KIAs have gotten significantly better in terms of reliability especially once they make it past the 25k mile mark. Usually if it's past that point, you'll know it'll last a long time if you take care of it. Especially with the newest ones.
Who was the genius that thought it was a great idea to rob Hyundai's n Kia's. I swear the amount of time ppl have to do fuckery is unreal kmft.
@@Hdkrbrjfofjfndkele when u start off saying "who was the genius" were not saying they brilliant at all just a figure of speech. But you are absolutely right, all u need is a screw driver.
Who was the genius to make cars have no disable ignition software , but Kia and Hyandai are retarts & it’s engineers , no back window sensors caused all the fuckery to even have time to fuck with someone’s ignition cause the alarms on all other brands the back window broken alarm goes off and disables it . All the software is to disable the car if the alarm goes off which it won’t when stolen and broken into , cause the back windows have no alarm sensors on the back doors 😂. This is really fuckery the engineers kids must’ve started stealing peoples cars and showing daddy’s work that he didn’t finsih cause daddy wanted Kia to go out of business and Hyandai
No bs they are literally the only car I like I hate suvs I driven a 2007 suburban and a dodge journey gt 2019 fords don’t make sedan I don’t want a Honda the quality decrease Mazda 6 is ok Toyota I hate the infotainment system
It was a social media challenge, the literally posted how to open and start those cars.
The people who realized the manufacturers thought it was a great idea to make it so easy to steal all u need is a screwdriver and usb douchbag 🤦♂️
Dear Huston Police Department, From the daughter of a mechanic, the steering wheel lock is only a minor deterrent at best. You can cut through a steering wheel easily. Hundya and KIA need to take full responsibility for the disaster they have caused for vehicle owners and their communities. Almost every other manufacturer made the shift to immobilizers years ago. I don't care if it hasn't been written into federal law yet, anti-theft prevention, these manufacturers should be forced to retrofit these vehicles with immobilizers and alarms. Or give the owners full retail value to buy the newest version of their vehicle with the security system included. The free steering wheel lock is an insulting and pathetic response to this situation. The price of
installation of an aftermarket security system is close to a thousand dollars. The manufacturer doesn't have a system that can be installed after the fact or even one that they would recommend. A police chief in my state has so had it with this situation that he would like to see all of these vehicles in question forced off the street with a recall. The AG of my state is one of eighteen that is suing Hundya and KIA. I hope they win. Good luck to everyone.
I just Had my Kia 2018 stolen and I just had a newborn. This is such bullshit. Kia needs to rectify this in a major way.
Why isn't TikTok fined and did they take all the videos off their site? If the answer is NO? why not?
Because why the fuck would it be TikToks fault you fucking moron🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you have literally no idea how the real world works or maybe you’re just a boomer who has no idea how social media and the internet/news works🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
And instagram, they have whole pages where they go live...
@@supreme_rage_708there’s a few in my state I seen them, I can’t even get a Kia in my state cause of them
My car has been broken into twice . The dealer told me they are not giving out the steering wheel lock . My car is eligible . I can’t afford parking lot fees . The thefts aren’t really investigated either . This is not good . They need to do something about this
Thank Obama lol
Smh mine was stolen once and broken into twice
My Kia was stolen on Monday and lucky I found it yesterday the fucker was still in there
Well that’s quite rare usually it’s just a joy ride🤙
Me too recent last Sunday. They need to be arrested
@@SasukeFan21it's just a one time thing joyride if it happens for the 2nd time I think 5 years in jail . Instead of 4 weeks which is the usual
😮 Incredible ... he was still in there!
Glad you found your car. 👏🏼
Maybe KIA/Hyundai take responsibility and fix the problem
They have and they are. Campaign 993 immobilizer software and P32 Campaign. Our dealer has thousands of cars eligible in our area. Wouldn't be surprised if they add more recalls.
Simple is they won’t they’re retarted , they will put a software out but won’t fix the dam back window sensors this is how it started out , someone’s child broke the back window and the alarm don’t go off and disable the vechile , Kia and Hyandai act like just doing a software for a problem that’s not even the problem is . Koreans are just being more retarted day by day making cars , cause Kia’s won’t be stolen nor Hyandai if the sensors to make the alarm disable the dam ignition and system in the ignition to make the alarm go off to begin with . They need to fix the back windows on the Kia’s and hyandais it’s not the dam ignition it’s the dam windows too is why people still tempt when they can’t even steal a dam Hyandai or Kia anymore with the new update , stickers don’t help , Kia thinks slapping stickers on Hyandais and Kia’s will scare kids away only a horn and alarm will scare people away !! Kia and Hyandai are dumb but hyaundai isn’t dumb it’s just the guy who made them right died and passed away , Kia took over Hyandai
@@McKoby1337 No they haven't. I drive a Hyundai with the software update, hidden trackers, third party alarm and immobilizer, and steering wheel lock. Despite all of this I have been denied car insurance (no tickets or accidents) due solely to the risk of theft. Hyundai has done nothing to compensate me for higher insurance premiums because the budget ones will all deny coverage.
@@georocksharrisI'm sorry to hear that. My insurance actually gave me a lower premium because of the theft issue. Regardless, I have one with push to start so it doesn't have the same vulnerabilities that the keyed versions have, but it is good to know some insurance companies are more understanding. I have Traveller's insurance. You might be able to see if they'll cover yours for a lower premium.

My aunt went to the dealership for her Hyundai software update and got it updated. Two months later while in church it was stolen. A week in a half later she spotted her own car in traffic while driving a rental car. She immediately called the police and they arrested the little punk. He had been using her car to get back and forward to work. Not one starch was on the car. He took real good care of it. He had washed it and my aunt said it was clean in the inside 🥴DAMMMN shame
My car was 50 feet from us, Hyunda Tucson, in a reserved spot we pay for in our apartment complex that has ZERO security. They tore the entire steering column up costing us 2k in damaged and now im afraid once we get it back--no matter what I do it'll just get broken into again and cost us more money. I can't pay my rent because i need my car to work and I lost my job because of no car and now i have 17 days to figure out how to make 2 grand or these apartments will give us a 3 day notice to leave forever. IDK WHY THESE COMPANIES FUCKING EXIST BRO
This is great!! 3 months without my vehicle due to Kia automobile theft in Connecticut.
Had to wait for ignition lock being shipped from Korea. 3 months, worst experience an such a violation.
Dont buy them?
Insurance companies refuse to insure these car's.
@@EW-uw7dgYa but if you have a tracker then you can find where the crash site is😁👍🤦♂️
It’s just retarted I knew about this before the Kia boyz , they ain’t the first ones who knew about this I crashed my car and I accidentally broke the steering column and seen a usb Can work but I didn’t show it off in 2013 on my optima . This was someone’s child that they showed when they daddy worked as a engineer at Kia how it all started was the engineer did illegal things to bankrupt Kia’s and to rob customers in 2015-2023
Where did you go to buy the ignition lock
Steering Wheel Locks can easily be dismantled by the thieves. Get a fuel cut-off switch. Expensive yes, but worth EVERY cent!
Where do you buy one?
@@minnymoon1360 Most aftermarket car stereo store or local mechanic can install one. Prices various makes, models, and labor rates for installation, plus any extended warranty coverage!
@@minnymoon1360at the fuel cut-off switch store
Thank you!!! Wish I would have seen this before Labor Day.. we lost ours. No glass nor alarm so we were shocked to find it gone.
The glass is inside your car, they push the glass into the car to get in. My mom had hers stolen same way, no glass but when we got it back; the glass was def broken and inside the car, nothing in the driveway that night. It took 6 months to be recovered though, already had a new car and had to pay $700 to get the car towed
That’s when mines was stolen just got it back today from the repair shop
Someone was hanging around my car all day today and someone told me that the Hyundai cars are being stolen! I quickly put it in my garage
We had the update, and our car was broken into and they tore apart the steering column to check if the update was done. They couldnt take the car, but gave us a large headache with insurance.
Check this out. I know people with these Kia and they’re literally being dropped from their insurance for no other reason then because they have this car.
Mandatory 20 years minimum in federal prison for vehicle theft.
They've tried to steal my Kia 3 times now wtf?!! 😢
Just had mine almost stolen but I stopped him from driving away. Frustrating
Does your Kia have a system alert installed or a steering wheel lick
@@Amanda-kp4zpyeah I got the steering wheel lock shortly after ;_;
Is the system alert expensive?
Install a kill switch or install compustar security system but cost about 500 in parts and labor.
Where do you live?
Do buy a Hyundai/kia (I’m a mechanic so I really dgaf what you buy) made after 21 they have immobilizers now. A quick and cheap way to check if ur car has an immobilizer is to look for some sort of security light or a light that looks like a key silhouette inside a car silhouette (car warning lights are weird man)
What sucks is that idiot criminals typically will not know which model years are affected, so in all likelihood later models will continue to face theft attempts. Best thing to do at this point is NOT BUY anything made by these shitty companies.
My car got stolen June 29 2023 and still july 21 still lost😢
Sorry man.
My mom had hers stolen in feb 2023, literally just got recovered yesterday. Damn near six months sitting in a parking lot at a fast food joint. Busted ass window and flat tires
That really sucks man
@@Augie.. Damn shame.
@@EW-uw7dg it was honestly more annoying that they recovered the car, bc she had replaced it already. So had to pay $700 for towing and impound fees, out of pocket. i don’t think I’ll ever buy a Hyundai regardless 😂
Now I know... 2023, jus got up 7:30am and the dam SUV is stolen ( Santa Fe) Hyundai 2018.. Drill bit heads left in my parking spot, , key hole was drilled out. So much for needing keys. Now we have no vehicle..Lord .. thank you because you always provide for those you guide.
It's pretty amazing that they didn't have immobilizers for such a long time. I'm a locksmith and it's unheard of to just be able to cut a key and start a vehicle since about the early 2000s
My Kia Soul was stolen this past Saturday night. They even took the brand new car seat I bought for my baby. Just sucks.
A Class Action lawsuit should be in the works people need to be compensated... I'm ready to sue personally because the dealerships are profiting off of this, sometimes they double the price for the glass.
My kia is in the shop now they werent able to get away but i cried like a baby. At this point im thinking of just doing away witn kia but im literally months away from being done with payments
Thank you sir
Why don't they just fix the main issue by replacing the steering wheel and key. They should have built those cars right from the beginning. Now their owners are the ones suffering. This is the reason I sold my Kia before it gets stolen. I'm not buying Kia nor Hyundai since they done little to nothing to fix the main issue. Why keep supporting a brand that won't back up their customers, it makes no sense.
Kia sent my daughter a steering wheel lock. She thought it was safe to park on the and it was stolen anyway. I feel they should be responsible because that doesn't work.
What year vehicle?
Huh? How did they take the steering wheel lock off?
@@ibrahime3194easy lol😂
I have a newer model that isn't affected by this as it already has an immobilizer given it's a push start system. However someone else may not know that.
What else can be done to show your vehicle is not easy pray? I suggest not getting a steering wheel Lock. They are useless but what is better is the lesser known brake lock.
Brakes aren't easy to cut & are a necessary function to drive a vehicle last I checked. So I recommend this over a steering wheel.
I wish I could offer a better suggestion. Other then changing your emblem on your car. Sad it has come to this kind of tactic just because of some stupid TikTok challenge. :(
The same cars just got recalled for going up in flames whenever they want to, which also includes in your garage
My glass was shattered the other day ago in the back window and they damaged the steering collum.
Mine too I’m in Fort Worth. Happened to 2 other neighbors
@nappyqueen86 yeah this is crazy it's messing with my Money cause I do lyft and Uber as a side job.
My son is in college and it just happened to him in Austin
Same happened to me. The person didn’t get away with the car. I’m stuck with the repairs. I want to sell but I don’t want a car payment. So frustrating.
Same just happened to me this morning. They couldn’t start it so the stole someone else’s Kia. Thankfully, I have full coverage for damages done to the window and steering wheel column. Damn thieves!!!
Kia and hyundai need to be fined by the government for this...they're costing ppl thousands of dollars behind their mistakes smh..i will never purchase a car from neither company but ive witnessed someone go thru having to wait a month to get they're car back smh...insurance only covers 30 days...
This isn't a problem at all if you get any of the GT-Line and higher trims because they're all push to start and have the theft deterrent systems that are lacking in the LXS and below models. That being said, starting in late 2022, this problem has been addressed and fixed at all trim levels.
@@thatoneguy9473So that just leaves tens of millions of their cars easy to steal from 11 model years. And we will just blame the customer for not buying the more expensive trims. No big deal.
@Mawyou I'm not saying that. It's still a glaring issue that would have been easy to fix from the factory. I'm just saying certain trims actually have the security features that keep people from using the most common method to steal Kias.
@@thatoneguy9473 That may be true, but it useless information to the millions of people who did not buy a more expensive trim. Just comes off as annoying boasting from someone who bought a more expensive trim.
@@Mawyou I only got the more expensive trim because I waited years after when it was cheaper. I'm by no means rolling in money. 😂
Ban TikTok !!
Why?
They already stole my moms
THEM KIA BOY'S
Mine was stolen this morning. Sad
None of these work. With all the latest fixes, and steering wheel lock, my daughter's Kia was stolen anyway. Kia should buy them all back from owners.
Take the fuel injection relay out of the fuse box
Flatten the tires too
Hey. Still sportin' those free VIN window etchings on my Accord. Thanks for offering that to the public. This KIA thing's a mess. Good luck.
What’s the site to see if I qualify for an upgrade for my car?
In fairness in the 90s we had less blicks and cars were easier to steal , but we had less car theft.
My Hyundai was just stolen in downtown Atlanta
My car almost got stolen and it’s a Hyundai Elantra. I would never purchase Hyundai or Kia period
I just wanna know why the small back window when broken into d
oesn't activate the alarm.
Buy an aftermarket kill switch. They're cheaper than a steering wheel lock and actually work.
Alternatively trade your KIA/Hyundai in for a new non-Kia or Hyundai vehicle.
Just had my Hyundai stolen couple days ago😭
Did they recover it??? I just got mines stolen yesterday
@@Amanda-kp4zp yes, found it abandoned few days later, $3000 job
@@ST-xe6yu same . They stole mines 3days after the purchase . And found it 5 days later. $6000 job smh nobody damage tho just stolen converter and damaged under car and stuff
What's the link?
Wtfff Where do you live?
Hahahha I remember ace ventura had a steering wheel lock. How ridiculous. This is 2024. Why can't you have something send 100k volts through the drivers seat ?
UPGRADE DOESNT WORK. USE THE CLUB! Make your car one they don't want to hassle. I got upgrade and my car was still stolen in 40 seconds
I have all that’s and they still. Took my car 😩
Because there is no immobilizer. They just connect the wiring as if a key was in the ignition. It's only an on/off switch. Lol
What's worse, Progressive Auto Insurance is now dropping Houston area coverage support if you have a Kia model that can be stolen with this social media challenge. Doesn't matter how many years you've been with Progressive either. 😮💨
NYS too
Dropped after 7 years due to this.
It’s NOT just in HOUSTON. It’s Memphis, Mississippi, Atlanta and other areas who has progressive insurance
In nevada too
You Need To Talk About MORE Of ALL Chryslers/ALL Jeeps/ALL Dodges/ALL Rams Being Stolen Than Kias/Hyundais!
What? All cars get stolen…🤣🤣Kias/Hyundais are the easiest you only need a screw driver and 30 seconds
I wonder if this is what my spirit guides were warning me about, man.
To anyone this has happene to- whay year was your vehicle?
2011
Currently, the most secure vehicles are volkswagen Audi Group, BMW, and Mercedes Benz.
Some pos stole mine last night.
My Kia was stolen July 17th and was found the next day. They broke back window and messed up the steering column. I wish there is something could be done😡they stole it and used mine to steal another. SMH My tank was on Empty so they had to put gas in it🤣suckers
Yea they stole mine 7/1 and it was found the same day. It also needed gas, so I’m thinking they ran out. Anyways, just found out today, as per my crappy insurance, the car is repairable🙄🙄
I have to pay out of pocket, just for someone to steal it again. My Kia Is an absolute nightmare!
Same thing happened to me recently smh
@@texasshinewindowwashingser2286Kia should pay. How did you even find a company that was willing to give you a policy on a Kia? Most of them refuse, some even cancelled policies.
@@EW-uw7dg yeah, I had Allstate and when I purchased the Kia they wouldn’t insure it, so the dealership found some rinky dink insurance; United Auto. I didn’t know about the, “Kia boys,” until it was too late. A HUGE regret/mistake.
Geico insured my son’s
Those steering wheel locks work fantastic!! I knocked the hell out of my ex husband with it. He told my entire family a lie, by saying I asked for a Hyundai. I most certainly did not. I said, when you do buy me a car, I want a Honda. And your momma called to say your brother is Gay. Honda-Gay… hmmmm maybe I jumped the fence too soon 😮 anyway… I hope blue-cross approves him for new hearing aids soon.
It's better to simply buy a different car, period.
It is but people will never learn. They still think paying for a cheaper brand car that cuts every corner imaginable is better then paying for a better brand car. They think there saving money but in the long run you spend more in repairs for cheap construction and look what you have to deal with people stealing your cars with USB cables
@@ourgreatsurrenderinchiefjo4245They made the cars like this for 12 years before it became a publicly known problem in 2022. It's not the customer's fault. Nobody could have possibly known 10 years ago that they were making cars with this defect. Nobody assumed a modern car manufacturer would be this purposefully stupid.
Install a hidden fuel cut off switch, simple
Both brands have ruined their reputation for many years to come which will discourage people from buying their stuff.
do get hyundai
Best theft deterrent is not buying a Kia or Hyundai
In the long run, this is going to cost both companies lots of $ because several generations of consumers now think that both companies make shitty products and no longer will buy their cars.
My fucking Hyundai was broken into 😐
IF U LOCK DOORS THEY WILL BREAK YOUR WINDOWS. LEAVE UNLOCKED, JUST DONT LEAVE VAUABLES IN YOUR CAR
then your insurance won't cover the theft. Don't do this!
@@debkleinschmidt4490why couldn’t you lie and say it was locked?

My Hyundai Elantra 2018, i found out stolen, July 1,2023 . I live in Humble Tx. Is all states eligible to get a settlement from Hyundai if so how to file a settlement ?
I had something sent to me by a Hyundai in Savannah Georgia and I went over to the dealership one week to get a rim to look at on the car and they took advantage of me in a bad way and that's why I haven't gone back to them for anything cuz they didn't mention anything about a warranty on my car or anything they sent me something in the mail and we went to go to the dealership to do ask about it they had nothing to say about it they declined the situation and then when I called them and send the message to them about this piece of paper they turned me away again so if it's not true then it's something wrong with the Hyundai dealership in Savannah Georgia
Thanks for the info
Or just don't live or go to a ghetto.
My friend lives in a gated community, he had his Kia Forte stolen and left out in the middle of nowhere with broken windows, the car was also rained in
Mine was stolen yesterday
This is how bad this is my sister-in-law was dropped from her insurance because she had one of the prime Kia that was being stolen now every other insurance wants over $300 a month because this has become such an issue. Progressive and people like that are literally dropping these cars from their insurance because they’re so prone to being stolen.
Just buy a Mazda instead
I keep on forgetting about Mazda because almost nobody talks about it except the Miata and the RX7. I agree, Mazda has way too many underrated vehicles, they need some love.
Don’t live in Houston, problem solved.
It's literally going on in every big city.
He said "a tractor built in on it"...... Dammm no wonder the public is in kust danger, apparently no high school doploma required
I removed my emblems and name from car too
Ain’t gonna stop us Kia boys we won’t stop so just give up Houston
LMFAO
Step 1: Hide an Apple AirTag in your Hyundai/Kia
Step 2: Move out of blue cities.
This is nationwide problem that's overwhelming police in red/blue cities, if you read the damn comments here you'll see massive number of Fkn RED state commenters who's "excellent" police couldn't do shit to stop the theft.
What you need to do, stop buying them till they sort the theft problem out. It is not as thou cars are cheap is it.
New models aren't affected just older ones. Makes no difference however given who is going to know that.
Or don’t buy one in the first place?

Stupid kids still trying to steal with Alarms, and steering wheel locks. ANy how get a combo lock so they do not break you key lock on the auto Club.
Or listen to Scotty and buy a Toyota
The only good thing about this is the fact that alot of the shittier Kias and Hyundais are being forced off the roads. Their new cars are very nice.
